I a bit haggard this afternoon, but I will try to sum up my last week as competently as I can.

Monday was a bit of a nothing day...I honestly can't remember what I did. OH, I wrote part of my article for the Manitoba, and then that night the girls went to see wolfman but I passed on that one. Skyped with some people instead.

Tuesday was my favourite day in a long time. It was warmer outside so I could wear a dress with a sweater and be fine! I finished my article and then had a coffee by the sea and read my book. Oh how lovely that was...sun and hot drink and book...waving to people I knew as they walked by and sometimes stopped for a quick chat. Sigh.
Then I went to get some groceries and on my way back ran into all three of my roommates and also all three of the scottish boys. We had a chat in the street and they invited us to come watch them play soccer with the French and Spanish boys. It was a nice day, so we went. Boring ass game, but it makes the boys feel important to show off their skills and things, so we pretend to be interested. The spanish girls were there watching as well, so at least we had people to talk to. We left there once the sun started going down and it got chilly, but were instructed to meet up in the spanish girls room later for drinks. They have a great great room, although a little far from center. So we stayed there for a bit and then walked to this bar called Bella Vita...which was like 10 years away...well 30 mins but still! So we stayed there till close and started the trek back. The way back took over an hour haha.

Wednesday we had the first international night at the student organization. The tutors talked about Slovenia and made us play stupid ass ice breakers. There is nothing I loathe more than when I am forced to play stupid games as "ice breakers" with people I have already befriended. It was also very disorganized. They talked about the country, each region, the Kurent, Preseren, basically all the stuff I already knew haha. Then we were put in groups and given a list of naughty-ish slovenian words and were told to write a song. I won't put the words up here, but let's just say, my team won. Hazaah bottle of wine! Then they had a "if you learn how to polka, you can drink wine for free game" I won that game :). The guy who was "teaching" me was just like "oh you learn very quickly!" Yah, something like that. I told him after that I already knew, his response? "OH! We can go faster then!" BAM hyper speed polka, nearly killed me, especially after a few glasses of free wine. Then we went to a bar to watch the spain-france soccer game with all the spanish and french boys. HI-LARIOUS. World Cup is going to be a hoot if that was anything to go by. Then we went to Port (the other dorm where the spanish people live) to get ready to go out yet again. We went dancing at "the city" until the wee hours of the morning.

Thursday Laura and Marie left to go on a Ski Trip in Krajnska Gora so Alison and I are alone until Sunday. We just kinda hung out during the day, read our books, got some paperwork sorted and then went out for dinner. That night we called up the scottish guys and went to see "Law Abiding Citizen" at the local theatre. Intense movie...I spent at least 50% of it with my sweater over my face and fingers in my ears. Gory gory stuff. Even Scottish David leaned over and said "I think I may cry soon." haha. Alison and I were dubbed members of team Scotland for the weekend, so my new scottish name is Hamish McDonald. Apparently Erin is too Irish...you can thank Gibby for that one haha.

Friday I was supposed to have class, but since Marie and Laura are both away, my prof said i didn't have to come. I went shopping/lunching with Alison instead. I FINALLY bought normal sized cups, and I'm pretty excited about it. I went to the post office to pick up my package from Joe and Tara which, by the way, was amazing! I had marshmallow peeps when I got home this morning, and it was the most satisfying thing in the world. Eric and Cammy's pictures are already taped up on my fridge. I hung out at home for a while and then Alison and I went to the scottish boys' room to hang out before we went out. We cracked open our victory wine and drank classy like out of the bottle lol. Then we walked to El Pirata and I will leave it at that because it only gets gong-showier from there.

Today I am supposed to see Marijetica and then I think out again tonight with Spanish and Scottish people. I am going to give an honest effort to get to church tomorrow morning though, so I dunno how late I will be out hahaha. Send me emails, fill me in on your lives people, I need to know whats going on! Love, Me.
